It's always a struggle going out in bad weather. Cold days and nights, rain, fog and that welcoming warm fire at home. But, if you can overcome the temptation to stay at home then you could get some great images.
What makes a great picture of people? Ninety percent of its quality lies in the facial expression, the rest is composition, lighting, and the natural presentation of body language. A tripod is a plus for sharp pictures and the camera should be set at the lowest ISO speed.
Red-eye is the biggest problem flash photographers face with both digital and film cameras.
The good news is that there are a few easy tricks that can significantly and sometimes even completely reduce the effects of red-eye. Here's a few of the simple tricks that I've discovered that make my pictures worth mounting on the wall.
The aperture is the part of the camera that controls how much light that will reach the sensor. It looks like the image on the left, those blades can make the hole larger or smaller depending on the settings.
In this tutorial I will go through some basic photo stuff, and bring on some tips and ideas of how to become a better photographer – I don’t say this is the way it must be done, I am only presenting a way to do things, and after some time you might like to divert from what I have wrote to experiment.
The aperture itself is the opening in the diaphragm that controls the amount
of light passing through the lens and onto the film or sensor. The size of the
aperture is referred to as the f-stop and it relates directly to the depth of
field, which is the distance between the nearest and farthest parts of a scene
that appear in focus, or the focal length divided by the diameter of the aperture.
To learn more about the camera we need to learn about the optic, since this is what capture the light and makes it possible for you to see the final version. The optics function is both to concentrate the light on the sensor, but also to spread it over the whole sensor so not just the center pixels get light.
